Why has my new Yosemite begun to display purple, green and black

why has my new Mac Yosemite begun to display un purple, green and black

This behaviour takes over the whole screen.  Restart brings back normal grey/white but the colour problem returns during further computer use.
No changes have been made to the colour preferences.

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • Why has the new ipod nano no connector for a speaker dock?  The white blank at the bottom looks as if one was intended, but then there were design problems?

  • Why has my new ipad stopped saving photos from Facebook?  Problem could have started when I downloaded the new OS.

    Why has my new IPad stopped saving pictures from Facebook.  Worked originally and problem may have started when I downloaded OS 6.

    You are correct that the behavior started when you installed iOS 6 - but as Chetan6518 explained - you now have to configure it in the settings.
    Along with the suggestion above, there is also a Photos setting in Privacy and that gives access to approved apps for photos as well.
    Last of all, make sure that you haven't set a photos restriction in Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos

  • Display switches to green and black colors

    New RFB 2.4gig MacBook Pro display switches to green and black colors and looks like a 256 color mode. It has done this two days in a row and only after surfing for about 1 hour. Restart fixes the problem. Usually when this occurs I have Safari, Opera, Mail and maybe another program open and occurs when closing windows in rapid succession. Situation does not occur for the remainder of the day.

    The problem has not occurred for two days after extensive use of the laptop. Both times that I got the green and black screens was after using the 5.8GHz telephone handset near the laptop. I updated to the latest Flash Player but I doubt Flash was the cause of the problem since Flash is regularly used and the condition only repeats when the telephone handset is used near the laptop. Never have had a problem like this with 6 previous Mac laptops.

  • My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

    My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

    You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.

  • Display leaves green and purple lines

    Guys
    My display leaves green and purple lines when ever I move any windows. I have zapped the PRAM and tested the RAM with memtest. Any ideas as it's driving my crazy

    AHT does test the video RAM, so louie's advice is spot-on. If the test doesn't report any VRAM problems and an external display doesn't show the same symptoms, then the fault is somewhere downstream from the logic board, i.e., in the video cable or the LCD itself. AHT isn't able to test those.

  • Has anyone experience Mac Book Pro screen went alien green and black?

    Hi...I was using my mac when the screen suddenly turned alien green and black, I can still use it though (like save the file and so on). It turn alright after you restart the computer, but I'm afraid if something has gone wrong.Does anyone ever experience the same problem? Does anyone know what is wrong with my mac? I start using this computer since November 2008. Cheers!

    Update:
    I brought it into the Apple Store near my house once. Booted up fine twice. Brought it back, because the green and black vertical lines, and the inversion of colors froze the computer 4 times after the visit. The Apple Genius ran a MacBook Pro NVIDIA graphics card test, which went well until it FAILED one of the tests.
    I had the option to have it fixed in the course of a week, but I thought that since it froze only a few times, that I could work through it (I have important final projects coming up), but now it won't start up. I will have to have Apple ship it away to fix it, because they are behind in their repair shop in the store. So, I will be without it for a week.
    They said it had something to do with the logic board, which I think is part of the motherboard. So, I am glad I backed up most of my projects' data, as they said they might have to erase data when they fix it.
    So, save your files onto external media (HD, flash drive, CDs, DVDs, etc.), and don't let this problem persist; have an Apple Genius check it out, so that you're not in my boat.
    I wish you the best in your troubleshooting!

  • Why aren't new contacts being added from incoming texts and/or recent calls loading in main Contacts?

    Everytime I get a text and I click the "Info" button and then "add new contact"... There name appears at the top of the screen and in the caller id/text message screen, however when I go to contacts the new addition isn't loading up.
    Then when I went to Groups and to "Show ALL Contacts" I can see the new additions. However I also see EVER SINGLE email address listed seperately from my Yahoo account. I am so confused. Is there a way to get the new contacts added to display in my contacts list, without it also displaing my Yahoo email contacts?!??!

    When you add new contact you are adding the contact to your default contacts account. Your default contact account is set in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts > Default Account. If this account is checked in the Contacts app Groups view, you will see the new contacts in the Contacts app. Otherwise not.
    I suspect your problem is that your default contact account is not set to the account you think it is.

  • Why is my new Macbook Pro Retina Display getting so hot?

    I've had my Macbook Pro Retina Display for nearly a week and it works like a dream and I love it.
    However it does get rather hot, around the F keys it's almost too hot to touch, all I use are internet applications and occasionally Spotify and iTunes so it's not like I'm constantly running hefty software.
    I just wanted to check that this is normal as this is my first Macbook, I've been a PC user for 10 years.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Download iStat Pro and report back with the temp readings.

  • Why has the new to rent or own section disappeared from the movies section on Apple TV uk ?

    Is there anyway of escalating this to the powers that be to get them to include the new to rent or own section on Apple TV uk ? This section is still available on I tunes on my I phone 5 and MacBook. It's really annoying.

  • Why has the new iTunes reset the play counts on all my purchased music?

    I installed iTunes 11 and discovered that it had reset the play counts on all my iTunes-Store-purchased music.  What gives?  Here's another thing, perhaps for a separate question here on the forum: play counts and "last played" do not update after a song is played unless I had specifically double-clicked it.  Weird.

    My God... I wanna know the same thing!

  • Below this app Iphoto logo word "waiting" been there for 10 days. I have a brand new Ipad mini Retina display with A7chip and M7

    I purchased a New Ipad Mini the latest with A7 chip and M7 Retina Display. I cannot download any apps. When I click apps Iphoto will appear .
    I dont need to use Iphoto. I want to download Candy Crush Saga.  And below my Iphoto logo there's a word " waiting". Isnt it that Iphoto is built in to this Ipad Mini? I want to download Imovie apps or any apps but I cant..What should I do Apple..

    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again to download the app of your choice.
